Hi,

The wireless radio combination should be the Fn+F2 keys to activate it. That is to hold down Fn and hit the F2 key.

SOURCE: How do I turn on wireless capabilities for a Dell Inspiron 1525?

here is the answer... (For Vista)

Go to the icon at the bottom right yellow/blue arrows (Dell Quickset) Open it.

Then go WiFi Catcher/radio controls (click it to open it).
Then go to "advanced settings" at the bottom of the pop up (open it - click it).
Then select the TAB "Radio Control Options"
Then UN-check all the radios and wifi, then apply, then OK. Your green bars should work now...

Good luck!

You can enable it via the wireless switch if Quickset has it enabled, Fn+F2, and you can also enable it in BIOS

Hi I'm tryjng to turn on the wireless switch it keeps saying I need to turn on wireless capabilities

Have you tried the FN + F2 key combo? I think the Dell's all use a hotkey rather than a hardware switch.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525. I had to reinstall Windows Vista. It has WiFi capabilities. I cannot figure out how to turn it on. The WiFi switch on the right side is turned on.

Go to support.dell.com- you likely need to reinstall the driver for your wireless card. Once that is done, it should be able to function again.

On the right-hand side near the cd rom drive, there is a switch that moves back and forth. move it towards the back of the computer. that should turn on your wireless capabilities. A wi-fi manager screen should pop and and you should be good to go.
